Abstract – The composition of minerals and anions in six types of decoction water (S1 to S6) were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectomerty (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectromerty (ICP-MS), respectively. Extraction efficiency of active compound of Magnoliae Flos depending on decoction water was determined by analyzing seven major peaks using HPLC and LC-MS. In results, S5 contained highest Ca, Mg and SO4 content and S4 showed the highest
Cl and NO3 content than other waters. Using multiple factor analysis, it was proved that the variation of the area for peak1 and peak7 of Magnoliae Flos extract related to K, Si and Na, and peak5 linked to SO4, Cl and NO3. Considering peak5 which is highly variable depending on the type of decoction water, the area of peak5 decocted with S4, S5 and S6 were higher than those decocted with S1, S2 and S3. In conclusion, the content of compounds in Magnoliae Flos extracts was different depending on decoction
water, indicating that decoction water affected the extraction efficiency and the bioactivity of Magnoliae Flos extract.
